I'm sorry, but I'm confused, what exactly did they do in Myanmar that arouses them so much?

Was it the coup?
Was it the genocide of a minority population?
Added bonus that the genocide is of a Muslim population?
Was it the displacement of refugees?
Was it the murders of artists and intellectuals?
Was it using live rounds on protesters?

chubby for them since Pinochet did it in Chile.

Democracy is such a messy process which rarely favors dictators.

on all questions. American repubs are jealous of countries where successful coups install authoritarian leaders.
